Chapter 416: You Are So Mean!

Silly girl, foolish girl…

Is she really both dumb and silly?

The answer is no, at least in crucial moments, she becomes very smart.

If Bai Wei hasn’t retained past memories and truly only lived for twenty-something years, he might not even know what name to give his daughter.

Unfortunately, the young girl still has some way to go.

Bai Wei rubbed Michelle’s hair, his expression unchanged.

The positions of the two sides are not balanced. She approached with unparalleled enthusiasm, but couldn’t melt this glacier, even though it was covered in sunlight.

In Bai Wei’s eyes, Michelle is still a little girl. Even though she has grown up a bit and become a young lady, she remains in the position of a student, neither higher nor lower, just like Liliana used to be.

"Time is running out, you should go back."

Bai Wei reminded, "Alena is seriously injured, as her best friend, you should go back to take care of her."

Michelle heard this sentence, her joyful expression disappeared, and then she asked, "What happened?"

"I’m not quite sure either." Bai Wei remained silent for now, he wasn’t ready to reveal his identity as the emperor.

Michelle felt reluctant, once she went back, she wouldn’t be able to touch it again, and they would be far apart.

She still cherished the distance at this moment.

But it really was time to go back, she couldn’t possibly stay here forever and ever.

"I’m going back." Michelle hesitantly walked towards the departing portal, deliberately taking slow steps.

Michelle thought to herself that she couldn’t bear to leave, but what about him, would Mr. Devil also be reluctant to part?

She thought with some complaints, why couldn’t they say a few more words before the next meeting, which is still a long time away?

She became slower step by step, reluctant to leave, only one step away from turning back three times.

Bai Wei turned his back to her, looking towards the distant direction of the broken paradise, furrowing his brows in silence, as if looking at something.

Then he withdrew his pensive expression, noticing the rebellious girl lingering at the door and not wanting to go back.

The reliable adult males of the Ming Country sighed helplessly deep down, realizing it was not a suitable time for conversation.

He didn’t want the meeting to end with too harsh words. After careful consideration, he could only put on a look of making a significant sacrifice and decisive decision.

The young man turned to Michelle and reached out his hand to her, saying, "Come here."

Michelle, like an athlete hearing the starting gun, suddenly dashed back towards the door just inches away, as fast as a rabbit.

She crashed into the embrace of the young man with such force that an ordinary person’s ribs might have cracked by now.

Bai Wei stumbled back half a step, knowing that this comforting hug would cause her to misunderstand, but still emphasized with a sentence.

"Just a polite farewell hug."

It had a taste of self-deception, as if there were no 300 taels of silver here.

"Hmm!" Michelle nodded vigorously, her happiness reaching its highest point in life.

Even though Dragonborn mostly consisted of muscular female warriors, Michelle’s body was soft like a marshmallow, and it was a pleasure in every sense.

Bai Wei held her soft waist tightly, allowing the portal to drift towards him, while silently cursing himself as despicable.

Not to mention that his self-control was deteriorating, but more so, he seemed to have become even more tender-hearted than before.

When he was an emperor before, he didn’t have so much hesitation and indecision.

He used to be a man who would carry out almost life-threatening orders for witches without hesitation, without shedding a tear or showing any remorse. It was taken for granted by everyone, and though there was some sadness, no one would resent him.

Everyone is like a chess piece, and can be sacrificed, including himself.

But now, Bai Wei truly feels that he has changed, a kind of change that even the Golden Power couldn’t bring back.

Is it because he knows that he owes too much in his past lives and feels guilty, wanting to make amends?

Michelle is a girl he raised by himself, like a little cat, so fond of spending time together, wanting to be close for even just a moment longer, even saying silly things like "I can even accept that Mr. Devil is a brainworm," showing how much she trusts this person she has never met.

Bai Wei also feels that no matter what he says, she will believe it and follow through… even if these words sound incredibly absurd.

Deep down, he doesn’t want to betray this trust, nor does he want to be harsh with this silly girl.

Bai Wei let go of her hand and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Michelle shouted, "No!"

This little bit is simply not enough!

It was just a quick hug, which couldn’t compare to the scenes she saw in romance novels and movies that made her blush and her heart race.

Bai Wei, "…"

"Don’t overthink it," he gently pushed her into the portal, leaving Michelle with a teasing smile, "I have no interest in the little girl, you don’t have seven siblings."

Michelle stepped back into the portal and saw the glowing circle around her, realizing instantly that she had been deceived.

Angrily, she shouted, "Mr. Devil, you’re so mean!"

The teleportation light flashed and disappeared, her accusing voice vanished within Broken Paradise.

…

Michelle fell to the ground and quickly looked around, suddenly realizing that she had appeared in a museum.

However, the sky outside was already dark, and it was night. She glanced at the nearest clock and saw that nine and a half hours had passed.

Michelle looked around and saw a chaotic crowd at the Tulip Academy. The teachers in charge were counting the number of people. She noticed two bodies on the ground, covered with protective white cloth. There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Her happy and excited expression couldn’t be maintained. Her feelings of joy faded away.

For her, Broken Paradise fulfilled a beautiful dream. After tonight, she wouldn’t have to worry about Mr. Devil’s appearance, she could fall asleep with the lingering warmth on her fingertips, dreaming sweet dreams.

But for many others, this was an unjust disaster, a natural catastrophe.

Many people mysteriously vanished and then died. Nobody knew how they died, and nobody cared about their final moments.

Michelle didn’t have time to care about the deceased. She quickly remembered about her good friend.

"Where is Alena?" she anxiously asked the people around her.

She followed them to a makeshift medical tent nearby and saw Alena lying on a hospital bed.

Alena was seriously injured and had a pale complexion.

Alena was clearly worried about her good friend. When she saw Michelle, her furrowed brow immediately relaxed.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled. As long as everything was okay, they were happy.

Michelle sat near Alena, wanting to ask if something had happened. But instead, she just offered some comfort.

"Close your eyes and rest for a while," Michelle said. "When you wake up, you can tell me what happened."

Alena looked at Michelle, feeling a bit surprised. She saw a familiar brightness in Michelle’s eyes, as if she had just returned from a trip. No matter how tiring and difficult the journey might have been, she had no regrets. It had cleared the dust from her mind and her eyes were clear like glass.

It must have been something wonderful that she had encountered.

That’s what she thought.

Just like when she had met him.

Alena let go of her worries, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She fell into a peaceful sleep.

Michelle sat beside, watching over, unaware that Sasha was just outside the tent.

In fact, Blood Noble arrived early and immediately started organizing the handling and strategies for the emergency, and has been busy until now.

Through the gap in the tent, she looked at Alena lying on the sickbed. The medical staff came back with the examination report and gave a brief summary.

"Her injuries are actually quite severe. It’s a miracle that she came back alive," said the medical personnel, making a comparison. "Her body is like a porcelain that has been broken once, but has been delicately repaired. The external injuries look very serious, but they won’t immediately endanger her life… We will continue to inject her with highly active serum. Under normal circumstances, she can recover on her own without needing major surgery."

"I understand," Sasha said.

When the others dispersed, she looked down at the armor fragments in her hands. These were the spoils of war that Alena brought back. The armor, made from the highest craftsmanship, contained a small amount of celestial ore. It was evident that the source was the templar… If Alena had reached this point, it was likely not just one templar, as she had brought back three fragments. But if there were three templars, it would be impossible for her to survive.

So, who saved her? Who helped her?

When Sasha asked, Alena remained silent, a small act of resistance that was not the first time.

However, Sasha could clearly sense that this time was different from before. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes were unusually bright and resolute.

The look in her eyes was similar to how her mother left the family with determination, just like when Sasha took over the black sword from her mentor and saw herself in its reflection… Therefore, Sasha could not ask further, she looked up at the starry sky and felt a sense of melancholy as her own girl grew up. This feeling of sadness was rare and she didn’t know how to relieve it.

Before leaving, Sasha also saw the look in Michelle’s eyes, a subtle sense of déjà vu formed once again.

"What bad luck." Sasha looked away and murmured, "Why is Liliana the person that comes to mind… It’s been so many years since you left."
